Adolf and Ed are wearing harnesses and are hanging at rest from the ceiling by means of ropes attached to them. Face to face, th

ey push off against one another. Adolf has a mass of 100 kg, and Ed has a mass of 81 kg. Following the push, Adolf swings upward to a height of 0.51 m above his starting point. To what height above his own starting point does Ed rise?

Answer:

0.78 m

Explanation:

By the conservation of energy, the energy that they gain from potential energy, must be equal to the kinetic energy. So, for Adolf:

Ep = Ek

ma*g*ha = ma*va²/2

Where ma is the mass of Adolf, g is the gravity acceleration (10 m/s²), ha is the height that he reached, and va is the velocity. So:

100*10*0.51 = 100*va²/2

50va² = 510

va² = 10.2

va = √10.2

va = 3.20 m/s

Before the push, both of them are in rest, so the momentum must be 0. The system is conservative, so the momentum after the push must be equal to the momentum before the push:

ma*va + me*ve = 0, where me and ve are the mass and velocity of Ed. So:

100*3.20 + 81ve = 0

81ve = 320

ve = 3.95 m/s

By the conservation of energy for Ed:

me*g*he = me*ve²/2

81*10*he = 81*(3.95)²/2

810he = 631.90

he = 0.78 m

What would happen if you tried to use a prism to disperse a beam that contained only green light?​
Margaret [11]

It is determined by the nature of the green light. Because lasers create light at almost a single frequency, green laser light would appear as a thin line of pure green. Other sources of "green" light emit light at a variety of frequencies, including yellow and blue, resulting in a strong green band in the center that fades into blue-green and yellow-green at the borders.

For example, here’s a graph of the spectrum of a green LED, showing the color range: Attachment #1

and here’s a graph of the transmission spectra of several standard photographic filters, including green: Attachment #2

A 0.111 kg hockey puck moving at 55 m/s is caught by a 80 kg goalie at rest. With what speed does the goalie slide on the (frict
Andrews [41]

Answer: 0.076 m/s

Explanation:

Momentum is conserved:

m v = (m + M) V

(0.111 kg) (55 m/s) = (0.111 kg + 80. kg) V

V = 0.076 m/s

After catching the puck, the goalie slides at 0.076 m/s.
